Middleware Announcements

> ** NSF Middlware Initiative Testbed Program - Call for Participation **
>
> This is to announce the release of a Call for Participation for the NMI 
> (NSF Middleware Initiative) Testbed Program. Activities of this testbed 
> will specifically support "real life" testing and broad implementation of 
> middleware components developed and packaged under the NMI program as they 
> move from concept and development to useful institutional deployment. 
> These middleware components may be software applications but they may also 
> be policies, recommendations, specifications, services or Application 
> Programming Interfaces (APIs). Additional context and background for the 
> NMI program overall can be found on the NMI Web site at 
> http://www.nsf-middleware.org.
>
> Institutions that are interested and qualified to participate in the NMI 
> Testbed Program as described in this Call for Participation (attached) 
> should respond by March 8, 2002, following the Guidelines for Response in 
> Section 8 of the CFP.
>
> Please note:
> The NMI itself is based on NSF Cooperative Agreements that have been put 
> in place to support an emerging technology area. This implies program 
> evolution in future years in response to annual NSF reviews as well as 
> ongoing examination of priorities and objectives and necessitates 
> flexibility on the part of all participants.
